See how this works? One question (suggested by a reporter who also made sure his guy got the mike--not that I have a problem, per se, with the ONE question) is now morphing into "soldiers" plural "peppering" (as in one after the other after the other) Rumsfeld.
Chrissy Matthews said the same last night, using the plural and making it sound like many questions were asked and leaving the impression no answers were given.
You'll have to pardon me for waiting to hear more details on the main subject of the story you posted before weighing in with an informed opinion.
Hey, it was "soldiers", because there was massive applause when the man asked Rumsfeld the question.
